Scottish Euromillions dad has car smashed up after he refused to share lottery win

A Scottish dad who won part of a Euromillions jackpot was on the unlucky side of coming into a lot of money, as he fell out with his two sons to the point they smashed his new car up.

Alex Robertson was part of the 12-man bus driver group who snapped up a £38 million jackpot win in 2012, reports The Mirror. Alex got a £3.1 million share of the money, but didn't delve out the money in his family circle.

The Scottish dad had a life changing moment go from bad to worse, after two of his sons claimed he refused to share the money with them. At the time, the Daily Record reported that the two brothers, Alex Jnr and William, were given 200 cigarettes as means of a present after the huge win.
